Policy Statement

The goal of the New York State/American Program is to attract highly qualified young men and women whose personal qualities indicate great promise for becoming outstanding physicians. Toward that end, the Admissions Committee has no preference regarding an applicant's undergraduate major. However, we are interested in your science preparation and the breadth of your entire undergraduate academic and extracurricular experience.

Equal consideration is given to all applications from qualified American and Canadian citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or Canada, without regard to sex, religion, age, race, color, national origin, or physical handicap, within the meaning of applicable federal and state laws.

The New York City office of the Sackler School of Medicine has sole responsibility for the admission of students into the New York State/American Program.
